Cab Causes Carnage at WSOP

Thursday, August 03, 2006

Just imagine your sitting at the WSOP on your second day and you've just been dealt your hand in the big blind... The action is slowly making its way round to you and along the way three other players limp into the hand. Finally, the small blind decides to raise the BB x 4 and you think to yourself what could this guy have, is he trying to steal the pot before we even see the flop?

So, as you have done for the last 6 hours, you reach out and ever so cautiously look at the corner of your top card - its an Ace... Then you peel back your second card - its another Ace...

Now, you think to yourself who cares what the small blind has, this is my hand...

You pause for a moment, assessing how much you will fire at the pot... when suddenly you here an announcement, "Will the owner of a white Lexus, license plate number XXXX, please come to the front desk. Your vehicle has been involved in a car accident!"

Well, that's exactly what happened at this years WSOP.

In fact, 4 separate cars all suffered some major damage due to a cab driver who somehow managed to plow into the parked cars.

I have to commend the player who not only managed to play his pocket A's to win a large pot, but was able to do this while dealing with the accident.

Maybe, it was the perfect cover for his hand, but either way it was a great effort to keep one's cool while knowing someone just hit every panel along one side of your new Lexus.
